Arriving safely.

I've just arrived in Vancouver, 12:30 midday local time.
Today has been really quite interesting, I have been in transit for around 24 hours now. At Seoul airport I met Canada's water polo team. I had a good chat to them there and on the way to Vancouver, and they're a really nice bunch, they were on their way home to Canada from Perth where they've been competing in the Commonwealth Games. Then at Vancouver airport I met some locals who were really friendly, and had just arrived home from 6 months in Australia and Singapore, who invited me to a hockey match in a months time.

Arriving at the place I'll be calling home for this year has been really relieving though, let me just say that..

The only problem is I can't sleep for at least another 9 hours. That's my main irk with crossing a time zone and then chasing the sun around the globe to the next day, you really don't get much sleep, and if I do get sleep now it will be impossible to get my body clock in order so I'll just have to stay up.

Right now however, I'm going to go and have a little look around the shopping strip a few blocks from the house.
In all, a safe and relatively pleasant day.
Cheers all!
